Installing the Samba Client

In order to activate the Windows NT Authentication module, Samba Client 2.2.2 must be downloaded and installed to the following directory:

AccessManager-base/SUNWam/bin

Samba Client is a file and print server for blending Windows and UNIX machines together without requiring a separate Windows NT/2000 Server. More information, and the download itself, can be accessed at http://wwws.sun.com/software/download/products/3e3af224.html.

Red Hat Linux ships with a Samba client, located in the following directory:

/usr/bin

In order to authenticate using the Windows NT Authentication module for Linux, copy the client binary to the following Access Manager directory:

AccessManager-base/sun/identity/bin

If you have multiple interfaces, extra configuration is required. Multiple interfaces can be set by configuration in the smb.conf file so it passes to the mbclient.
